Today is the first of three days of Comiket 89, a massive Japanese anime and gaming exhibition that occurs twice every year in Japan.

Earlier this year, during Comiket Special 6, Fire Emblem made its first Comiket appearance to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series.

Now, due to popular demand, the Fire Emblem booth is back again, with another plethora of highly sought-after and exclusive merchandise

While Japanese fans and miracle workers frantically queue up to bag the loot, for those unable to attend Comiket (or find friends to go), there are some items you can order from the comfort of your own home.

Fire Emblem Cipher at Comiket 89

Fire Emblem Cipher and merchandise collectors will be setting their drool-o-meter to maximum as Fire Emblem triumphantly makes it way to Comiket 89 from 29th to 31st December 2015 in Japan.

As a bonus, a “First Princess of Nohr, Camilla” promotional card, featuring Camilla in a predictably risque Santa costume, will be given away with any purchase made at the booth (while stocks last).

The goods for sale are mostly related to the Cipher card game, but there are some new 25th Anniversary items too; of major interest to fans is the 25th Anniversary Fire Emblem Concert DVD.

(By the way, if anybody is able to visit the Fire Emblem booth, please let me know!)

Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Concert Report

July 28, 2015 VincentASM News 8 comments

On 24th and 25th July 2015, Nintendo held a Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary concert event, dubbed “25th Anniversary of Love and Courage: Fire Emblem Festival”, at Tokyo Dome City Hall.

While I didn’t attend the event myself, many fans and members of the press did and, so, I’ve collected their impressions in this (lengthy) post.

Before beginning, I should mention that it’s prohibited to take pictures (or recordings) within the concert itself, so that’s the reason you won’t find any (or many) here.

But anything beforehand is fair game, it seems. Speaking of which, the entrance itself is rather spectacular, featuring life-size replicas of Marth and Chrom’s Falchion and Fire Emblems.

I already made a post with pictures of those, if you’re interested and missed it. Apparently, the replicas were crafted by Hato Ken, a famous weapon designer.
